<p class="text" align="left">Note: Restore means copy backup contents and overwrite to original place without clearing. So some settings, such as user-defined environment variables, can be kept after restoring. Our tool only writes old user-defined variables into registry without deleting existing ones. So variables after restoring = variables before restoring + variables in backup.</p>

<p class="text" align="left">This Tool can be used to Clean IDE Opened Projects and Files History.<BR>You can clean the history just by checking them and clicking Next. Notice: Please make sure that IDE are NOT running when executing this Tool.
